Hide AdUnite has a mandate to accept the offer and suspend the current industrial action by its members.
The local offer will see staff move up their existing pay scales by two points over two years, and also includes an improved one-off ‘cost of living’ payment of £750.
The Council and trade unions have welcomed the outcome of the constructive discussions, jointly acknowledging the importance of ongoing positive engagement.
The Council said it anticipates that all impacted services will return to normal on Friday.
